Register-Star Endorses David Franck for 5th Ward Alderman. No Endorsement for Either Incumbent

In a major coup, David Franck has received the only endorsement in the race for 5th Ward Alderman from the Register-Star.

His opponents in the race are eight-term Alderman Robert Donahue and six-term Alderman Richard Goetz. The paper did not endorse either of the incumbents.

"In our interview with Franck, he said he was running because he said he feels you can’t complain unless you’re willing to be part of the process. He takes issue with the fact that Goetz is away for months at a time, leaving the ward without adequate representation. Franck cares about the big issues facing Hudson such as job growth and the tax burden, but also is aware of the smaller issues, such as public safety. It is this kind of broad view that we believe will serve the residents of the Fifth Ward well. Voters in the Fifth Ward should cast their vote for Franck."
